(I doubt that I bought them in the Hallmark incarnation back then, because I only had one sheet of them.<br />(I&#39;ll explain why this is important in a moment.)<br /><br />The Hallmark package has a gold (non-shiny) header with the Hallmark logo up top (by the hang-hole). The sticker sheets, as you see here, were bundled with 4-sheets to a pack - I&#39;ve never opened mine, so I can&#39;t be sure if it&#39;s the SAME sheet 4x, or with different stickers per sheet.<br /><br />From what I CAN guess, (due to my research) they are all the same. My only source of doubt is that around the same time there were also stickers of characters like Spider-Woman, and Dave Cockrum&#39;s depictions of Storm and Wolverine, so... maybe/maybe not.<br /><br />They were also released at some time after - in a slightly different assortment - as &quot;puffy-stickers&quot;, raised &quot;3D&quot;-like with a vinyl outer layer and thin layer of foam inside.<br />The difference is that the puffy sticker pack comes with only 6 of these characters (in the same art/poses) neglecting to include Silver Surfer, Cyclops or the Fantastic Four.<br /><br />My pack of Puffy stickers has a cheap header with a cheesy rainbow graphic up top and poor lettering, with the &quot;Made in Taiwan&quot; caveat up top.<br />I&#39;ve seen the puffy sticker version on numerous occasions, so I&#39;m guessing they&#39;re one of Marvel&#39;s low-rent licensees.<br /><br />I hope my Doctor Strange collector nerdity has been of help.<br /><br />;-)~P~http://www.blogger.com/profile/09299078564477985626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-28367941604096143042012-06-20T23:35:33.901-04:002012-06-20T23:35:33.901-04:00I would have loved these as a kid.
